   JK>Hi Daryl,   
      
   Hi, Janis...   
      
   JK>Dale Barnes is still working on the software/process (email and netmail   
   JK>submissions). He's in touch with number of us and had us send in "test"   
   JK>records so it seems to be moving along :)  I am so thankful for the   
   JK>work Dale is doing.   
      
     Agreed.   
      
   JK>Do you mean the email issues of the fidogazette, or just downloading various   
   JK>files,etc. ?  Perhaps you are using the wrong port to grab the files?  Here    
   JK>the ports I'm using here:   
      
   JK> WebBBS: Filegate.net:8090/bbbs   
   JK> Telnet: filegate.net:2030   
   JK> FTP: filegate.net:6072   
      
     I was just going through the browser to the IFDC website to download   
   them.   
      
   JK>...and then some days life gets completely bonkers here, and I don't have a   
   JK>chance to update web pages at filegate.net ... this week was one of "those"   
   JK>weeks.  Ron found out via an MRI and other testing that he's got arthritis i   
   JK>his spine.  It's started causing incredible pain.. so much so that he can't   
   JK>even sit at the dinner table for more than about 10 minutes.. he'll probably   
   JK>have to have surgery or an injection of steroids in his spine to get some   
   JK>relief..   
      
     They diagnosed me with degenerative disk disease in my spine nearly 2   
   years ago. I'm using a cane, but have a walker on standby.   
      
     I'm going in for urinary bladder stone surgery on Monday. Combine that   
   with increasing thunderstorm chances in Arkansas each day through the   
   weekend, then the surgery and overnight hospitalization, I'm going to be   
   offline for a few days.   
      
     If you recall the James Bond movie "Live And Let Die" in 1974 (not   
   sure if Sean Connery or Roger Moore played Bond -- but I loved the theme   
   music for it), think of the scene where he's trying to escape from the   
   airplane hangar in a small plane. His enemies start closing the hangar   
   doors, and he says "Holy $h!+!!". That was my reaction when I saw the   
   stone in the bladder...likely more than 10 millimeters in size now.   
   They'll break it up with lithotripsy (sp?), then flush out the   
   fragments. They'll have me stay overnight to make sure there are no   
   complications.   
      
     I thought the BBS had crashed last night, but somehow, the legacy mode   
   under Windows 10 in the Command Prompt window got turned off...and none   
   of the BBS's batchfiles would run...which included the doorgames,   
   maintenance, and other utilities.   
      
     Then, I remembered a fix that my cousin had noted, and that did the   
   trick. So, now if that occurs again, that's the first thing I   
   check...and I put a note on the desktop to remind me of such.   
      
     I've been fighting a migraine sinus headache for 4 days...and I think   
   I'm trying to get a head and chest cold...not what I need before   
   surgery. Plus, the headache gets so bad at times, that it's hard to hold   
   my eyes open...making driving, computer work, or much of anything else,   
   dangerous. At least I can find my way to and from the bathroon...and I   
   remember the cardinal rule my late wife noted..."leave the seat down".   
   As we get older, incontinence is a bear at both ends...and there is   
   nothing golden about "the golden years".   
      
   Daryl
